NEW YORK.- White Columns at the W Hotel, Times Square, New York, presents Sean McFarland: Recent Photographs. White Columns and W Hotels are pleased to present an exhibition of Sean McFarland’s recent photographs in the Living Room of the Times Square W Hotel. McFarland’s hallucinatory photographs are derived from his own images of the urban environment which he reassembles into three dimensional photographic collages that juxtapose geographically and architecturally unrelated aspects (e.g. a foreground image taken in one neighborhood might be combined with a middle ground image shot in another, which might be set against a skyscape from a third, etc.). McFarland subsequently photographs these three-dimensional tableaux to produce disorienting images where the city – often San Francisco or New York – becomes an uncanny model-like topography that is at once familiar and unfamiliar.

Sean McFarland lives and works in the Bay Area. He recently had successful solo shows at the Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco, and at White Columns, New York.

Sean McFarland’s exhibition at the W Hotel, Times Square is the second collaboration between W Hotels and White Columns.
